Put the snack machine in the WH Press Room and quadruple the prices.
He’s right.

But instead of sports programs, which constitute a miniscule portion of the budget, they are hanging something else that means a lot to Americans over their heads, and that is paying the military.
It’s despicable no matter who is doing it.
It’s blackmail.

Chuckles and Nazi have just kept the attack going. The Demokrats are the partie of sozialist queers, cows and criminaliens. They can’t win this fight.
Break the bat over them!
The Cincinnati city council does this every year. Instead of cutting back bureaucracies, they claim they’ll have to cut police and fire unless the budget is passed ...then for good measure, they shove through a streetcar to keep up with their socialist buds in Portland, and raise our property taxes to boot!

The Republicans have NO CLUE how to play politcal War. SIMPLE. Compare the 800,000 the Democrats side with against the 360,000,000 the Republicans side with. All this ‘Military Military’ does not connect with their INCOME.

Although it would be hard to choose.
